TMM 016: Need your help for new series!

Hi! Just me (Trent) here at the moment, Rachel is on a family holiday and I've taken a couple of days out for a bit of self care. So this Miscast Minute is a little bootleg and late but Ive got something exciting to share.

For the last couple of years Ive wanted to create a YouTube series about problem solving and I'm doing it! The pilot episode is underway. This was sparked after getting into woodwork and how useful I found good beginner videos to overcome the wall of actually starting.

Here's the run down of how these episodes are being written so far. It sounds very rigid and boring on paper but the execution with be very fun in video form.

Each episode will be focused on a material or skill and will follow the structure of:
1. The fundamentals - the most efficient explaination of everything you need to get started working with the topic. (You'd be familiar with this from early Miscast Terrain videos)
2. Real application - how Im currently applying those skills in my day to day work and in a variation of art froms and practical uses. (This takes a lot of inspiration from my current vlog format and is a opportunity to showcase what I've made/ been making in a neat way)
3. Experimentation - in real time I experiment with the material or skill to see how else it can be used/pushed/manipulated outside of my current understanding. This will hopefully teach problem solving and my experimentation process.
4. You - A simple project and resources to get you started and maybe an opportunity to showcase your work from a previous episode.

Through this series I want to demonstrate how wide of an application some of my skills have and how beneficial a vast skillset can be even just a very basic understanding. A quote I love from the Kingkiller Chronicles is "small facts lead to great knowings." and that's the foundation of the project.

If you have suggestions for topics you want covered please let me know below. I have taken a lot inspiration from the q&a questions I receive.

This series will cover all aspects of the channel from model making, prop making, art, craft and rpg making. So if there is ANYTHING I can help demystify please let me know.

I really think this will be an opportunity to also showcase my YouTube friends and their unique offerings too!

You already kind of did this in an Arcane Ugly video, but I feel like drawing would be a great one. It's one of those things that you seem to do so confidently despite saying you're not good, and I'd love to know where to start to build that sort of confidence! As for something you haven't already covered, I'll second Ren's idea for sewing!

Making dioramas, building from bits, sculpting....I just woke up, so this is what I have. ^^;

Yes! Lots of applications for this! Great idea

Sewing! Just the basics of hand sewing. Running stitch, back stitch, hem stitch. Starting a thread, stopping a thread, what type of thread to use in the first place. I hear so many people who are so mystified by the needle and thread that they claim even the most basic of mending is beyond them, and it’s a little sad…also, I would like various family members learn to reattach their own buttons!

I agree! I have knowledgeable people I can work with in those areas. Thankyou for the ideas!

Leatherwork sounds like some you'd be in to and could use for nerdy and non nerdy things. Woodwork would be good too. If you make it. It's guaranteed to be good, inspirational and informative.
